Get 300 Miles & More miles for free

You won’t be flying very far with 300 Lufthansa Miles & More miles, I admit!  If you have an account this is an offer worth taking up, however, as Miles & More miles are not so easy to earn.

Miles & More is currently testing its new Facebook app and is looking for users.  It is offering 300 miles if you sign up and link your Miles & More account to your Facebook account.

As with the Marriott promotion yesterday, which also requires  a Facebook account to earn the free points, you may want to consider setting up a ‘spare’ Facebook account at a different email address.  Don’t put in any information except your name to stop friends finding it in error.

You can then take part in offers like this without worries about your Facebook friends being spammed to death.

How to earn Star Alliance miles from UK credit cards (April 2025)

None of the Star Alliance airlines currently have a UK credit card.

There is, however, still a way to earn Star Alliance miles from a UK credit card. 

The route is via Marriott Bonvoy. Marriott Bonvoy hotel loyalty points convert to over 40 airlines at the rate of 3:1.

The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points is via the official Marriott Bonvoy American Express card. It comes with 20,000 points for signing up and 2 points for every £1 you spend. At 2 Bonvoy points per £1, you are earning (at 3:1) 0.66 airline miles per £1 spent on the card.

There is a preferential conversion rate to United Airlines – which is a Star Alliance member – of 2 : 1 if you convert 60,000 Bonvoy points at once.

The Star Alliance members which are Marriott Bonvoy transfer partners are: Aegean, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Avianca, Copa Airlines, Singapore Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines and United Airlines.
